What You Spent on Travel in 2009

Despite a money-conscious 2009, most of you managed to make some room in the budget for travel. Twenty-one percent of you spent $5,000 or more on trips this year; coming in second, with 17 percent of the vote, were travel expenses between $2,000-3,000. We know travel doesn't always equal vacation time, so while some of these trips were likely work-related, I'm hoping most of you were able to take time out of the office for a well-deserved vacation.

And for those of you who didn't manage to get away at all this year (11 percent), we hope your staycations were just as relaxing. But if you're saving up for a big trip in 2010, we wish you all bon voyage and want to hear all about your exciting excursions in the New Year.
